Initial analysis

The property at 2 Charlton Court is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by Jeffrey Byrne & Genine Fong, the building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over the years. Major improvements were made in 2003 when the building underwent substantial electrical work (rewiring of both flats, basement, and service upgrade), and structural updates were completed including the installation of concrete encased electrodes, retaining walls, and the replacement of structurally damaged members. The property has maintained its residential character, with a 2003 renovation converting the second floor into a two-bedroom unit and the first floor into a one-bedroom unit, though there were plans for additional alterations that were withdrawn.

More recent records indicate ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in the last 3-4 years. There have been multiple fire code violations noted between 2018-2025, including issues with alarm systems, combustible materials, and a recent violation in January 2024 related to shared spaces. The building's exterior and immediate surroundings have experienced various maintenance challenges, including graffiti removal in late 2022, sidewalk cleaning needs, and issues with tree damage reported in 2023. 2024 has seen several infrastructure-related calls, including a missing side sewer vent cover and a blocked sidewalk due to an unlicensed scooter. The most recent incidents as of 2024 involve shared spaces concerns, including noise and accessibility issues, which are currently under review. The building's historical records show attention to structural and safety improvements, with complete records of major renovation works including plumbing updates, concrete work, and comprehensive electrical system upgrades, though the frequency of recent fire code violations and maintenance issues suggests ongoing vigilance is required regarding building safety and infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 2 Charlton Ct's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
